My UPS worked.

There were about five simultaneous "DAMMIT"s around the office though.

Heh. I wonder exactly how long my UPS will actually run all the crap hooked up to it before it gives up.

Mine is supposed to run for about 10mins or so, I think......should give you enough time to get everything shut down and saved.

Well, I don't know that it's designed to run a plasma, receiver, PS3, HD DVD player, CD carousel, VCR, and cable box.

UPS won't prevent power surges, although they will mis-deliver your packages from time to time.
